George Ou from ZDNet has been at the SC07 supercomputing convention in Reno, USA, and has been chatting to NASA and SGI. He’s had a closeup look at examples of SGI’s Altix 4700 single system image (SSI) monster, as well as SGI’s Altix ICE 8200 cluster.
Some interesting numbers and some good closeup pictures – slide on over to http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=864 and have a look.
